    Is this a break up text?

    Hi folks. I'm currently in a really weird serious dilemma.

    I've been going out with a girl for almost 2 months now and with the occasional hiccup, everything seems to be going ok.

    One thing to bear in mind before I continue (which will play a part in the story) is that I am a person who has a tendency to sweat a little bit at times, particuarly across my forehead if it's hot or even sometimes if I've walked at a fast pace for 10-15 mins.

    On Friday I went out with her and met some of her friends. We had a few drinks, went to a club, had a dance, etc. A really good night.

    Last night however, we'd had a drink with a couple more of her friends and then went to the pictures. I sussed something was wrong there because she wouldn't hold my hand in the pictures, like she's done plenty of times before. Then I was getting the silent treatment whilst wakling her back to her bus stop.

    Later on I got a text which I'm not sure is kinda signalling the end of it all:

    "Ok so I know this is gonna come out all wrong but I have to say something because it is really getting to me. Before I do though I have to sat you have been lovely to me while I've been a bitch, you have been patient, understanding and kind. You are a lovely guy with some amazing qualities and talents..... but there is a body odour issue... I know I am far from perfect and I'm really sorry to be so blunt. I just don't know how to say it without hurting you but there is no easy way around it. Your fitness is a real issue. It's not normal to be short of breath, sweating so much and using your inhaler after a short walk somewhere. I know I'm a bad person for saying this, but "I figure honesty is the best policy. I'm so sorry about the way I was tonight but I didn't know what else to say or do."

    I really need some advice on this one. Obviously now I'm getting a little paranoid, thinking if I really do have BO and no ones mentioned it before.

    I'm someone who sweats more than normal and that's that. Even when I was a lot fitter than I am now, I still sweated a fair bit. I just do my best to cover it up, dry deodrants, vests underneath my shirts.

    I guess the main question is, can this be resolved, or is this a break up text?

    Are you overweight too? It isn't a break up text BUT it is a warning, she is getting turned off by you. Do you spray yourself? you must smell. Nobody wants date a stinky sweaty person.

    re

    Yeah I spray myself everyday as well as cologne. She actually complimented the cologne I was wearing just a week ago, which confuses me, wondering if I've always been like this and no ones told me, or was it just this Saturday night? I was out with her on Friday and we were holding hands, dancing, kissing, etc. The only thing I can think of is that I had worn my clothes from last night ( t shirt and jeans) once before this week without washing them.

    And yes I am overwieight. Something I need to get sorted. We've been texting today and she's been saying sorry, not wanting to make me feel bad. well obviously it has, nobody likes to be told they stink, lol.

    Bathe more often, get scented soap, and go talk to a professional about developing an exercise routine that fits someone with asthma. Honestly this is an issue that will continue to plague you.

    At least she cared enough to be honest with you rather than just break up with you and say nothing. Which means she sees something there worth keeping. Perhaps time to do yourself a favor and get into shape.

    Oh and cologne does NOT cover up BO. It is meant to accent your natural body smell.

    Find some deoderant that works for you, get rid of body sprays, get some better soap.
